Well I never thought I would change my mind, but . . .

Obama picked the right man to be his VP. I wanted Biden to win the primary for Prez; however, he didn't. I have decided to vote for Obama/Biden.

I watched the Democrat Convention and it was pretty good. Obama's speech was excellent and so was Biden's.

Then came the Republican Convention that I peeked at. Then McCain's pick for VP, Sarah Palin. Who?

Well, I cannot make any judgement calls regarding her as she won't give any interviews. What are they afraid of? She is going to give a recorded interview to Charlie Gibson tonight from Alaska. Therefore, that can be edited.

Rush Limbaugh is claiming Palin has as much experience as Obama. I wouldn't think so. She made some snide remarks during her speech at the convention regarding Obama being a community organizer (like that was nothing). Both Biden and McCain have preached what President Kennedy did after his election. The "not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," and that is exactly what Obama was doing but they were putting him down for doing that. Martin Luther King was a community organizer. I think Bobby Kennedy was a community organizer before getting into politics. This is someone that is helping the community to try to pull itself up and do for itself. A public service job. Now McCain is a great war hero. However, what has Sarah Palin done? Don't know because she is not allowed to speak without a printed paper or teleprompter in front of her.

Now Limbaugh is claiming that we Dems are claiming "Jesus" was a community organizer like we are comparing Obama to Jesus. Puhlease! Rush Limbaugh has no life. He couldn't to be able to sit around and think stuff up like this.

Now I do know that Palin was against the bridge to nowhere; however, she kept the money. So that was kind of hypocritical. She also fired someone in her cabinet because he didn't fire her ex brother in law so she is under investigation for abuse of power. There are other rumors going around but that is just what they are, rumors so I won't address them here. I'd rather deal with facts then hear say. I also know she belongs to a Pentecostal church which believes in speaking in tongues. I wonder if Palin has ever spoken in tongues? She stated the Iraqi war was "God's Will." I don't understand how she would know what was and wasn't "God's Will?" So was hurricane Katrina "God's Will?" As I remember that it was because of all of the homosexuals and Lesbians in New Orleans according to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. (the latter has passed away almost a year ago).

Organized religion is really confusing to me. Especially, when they start preaching politics and telling their congregation who they should vote for. I think if they do that, they should pay taxes. I have noticed that they are not really truthful about everything they say when it comes to politics.

As for Sarah Palin, she is a young, attractive, charismatic, energizing, full of enthusiasm, well spoken, seems to be a decent person, is a mother of five children, and a spitfire. She is a Hockey mom and proud of it. However, she could be our president one day and does the above make her capable of fulfilling that job? I really don't know but hope to get to know her before November 2, 2008. Not that I'll vote Republican (my dad would turn over in his grave); however, I would like to see how she does on her own.
